We were sent this little piece of TJL history by a member of our team recently:

The brass plate was taken from the canopy of a restaurant in Bearsden which is currently being fitted out.

Billy Hynes, former Estimating and Manufacturing Director told us: “These were on the blind boxes on shopfronts. The eye was for a pole with a hook on it to pull out the blind to shade the display in the shop window”
